“Ozempic causes weight loss by reducing appetite and decreasing food intake, and patients may gradually lose up to ~15-20% of their body weight,” Dr. Anders M. Näär, Professor of Metabolic Biology at the University of California, Berkeley, explained to Bored Panda.
“A significant proportion of patients (10-15%) do not respond to the medication or drop out due to side effects,” Dr. Näär notes.
The most common side effects are gastrointestinal (e.g., nausea, vomiting, and constipation), which the professor says are “generally considered well tolerated.”
“Rare but more serious side effects include pancreatitis and thyroid tumors.
“Due to decreased food intake, patients will also lose muscle mass, which can be a concern for the elderly as a risk factor for sarcopenia,” Dr. Näär cautioned.
Additionally, he warned that stopping this kind of medication can result in rapid weight regain.

For those taking semaglutide for weight management, the treatment should be complemented by lifestyle changes, including a calorie-reduced diet and physical activity. If weight loss occurs mainly as a result of the medication, there is a high likelihood of regaining weight after stopping it.
Among the stars who have revealed that they used Ozempic or similar weight-loss medications are Oprah Winfrey, who labeled it a “gift,” Whoopi Goldberg, Elon Musk, Sharon Osbourne, Chelsea Handler, James Corden, and Amy Schumer.
